Think Green – It’s Earth Day!
April 21, 2008 on 10:59 pm | In Events, Fun Stuff | 13 Comments
Every year, Yahoo! gets into the spirit of Earth Day and educates our users about what they can personally do to make a difference for the environment. This year, our focus is on the “Reuse” part of the often heard “Reduce-Reuse-Recycle” creedo.
Did you know that there are reuse groups around the world whose mission is to give used items away for free to other people in their community who can use them rather than throwing them away? Items like furniture, dishes, bikes, and electronics.
You can find out more about Earth Day and how to become part of the worldwide reuse effort on the Yahoo! Earth Day website at http://green.yahoo.com/earth-day. You can even find a local reuse group in your area whose members may need some of those items that are gathering dust in your closet or garage. Plus you never know what free items you might come away with.
While you’re thinking green, why not get your Avatar in the mood too? Head over to the Yahoo! Avatars website to get decked out in fun Earth Day apparel. Then help spread the word about Earth Day to all your friends on Messenger!

I hereby vow to plant one tree for every megabyte of RAM and CPU cycle wasted by Messenger 8.x
That should singlehandedly solve deforestation, hell the trees might all die from insufficient carbon dioxide in the air.

May we be reminded of our environmental responsibility…Earth is our home that we must take care of…Let’s avoid environmental deteriorating activities…Save Mother Earth for the future generations…Let’s love and value life as we love and value Earth…Plant more trees for more lives…better future…Think about it. Do right and make wise decisions for a brighter and greener future.

I stumbled on this blog today, and read the most idiotic thing I’ve ever heard about those of us interested in going green.
